Good room that was clean. Mattress is a little old - small gullies where you sleep.
We have traveled through 10 states in our road trip and stayed overnight at several hotels. This was by far our favorite! We just had a simple room, no coffee maker but it had a fridge. Very clean and comfortable, the best nights sleep we had during our travels. The room had a wonderful, light smell of lavender.
It was my first time in Cape May and I will definitely stay at The Cape in the future. I stayed in the main hotel, which was very nice but I viewed some of the cottages, which are beautiful. Clean, reasonably priced for the area, with beautiful grounds and a lovely pool.
Room was very clean.
Important to note that this is a digital check in. When we arrived at check in time (3:00), the office was closed. Through the text messages, I was told the code to check in would be sent at 3:30. Also, NO coffee on site anywhere.
Room felt sticky, we had to lay a path of towels for our shoes not to stick or our socks to not get dirty, as if it was "cleaned" with an old mop. The TV remote was sticky as well, we had to put it in a ziploc bag to use. Although we followed the rules for flushing, the toilet was very borderline to say the least. The bed was not comfortable. We stayed on the ground floor and could hear the upstairs walk and pipes bang everytime they used the shower.
It was perfect but when in bathroom it was very clean but there were dozens of very tiny black insects/bugs scattered on sink bathroom and bathroom door jambs, maybe seasonal from dampness. We told management and she quickly moved us to another room and it was bigger and clean like the previous room and bathroom was clean insect/bug free. It was excellent after that. This is really an excellent cozy place apart from that bathroom mishap which we thought was isolated. Enjoyed our overnight stay. It was actually one of the highlights of our visit, it was a cute, clean, serene, relaxing just refreshing place.

The room had a musty smell to it. The floors in the bathroom were dirty as was one of the towels. It was a cute motel and the room was fine. Comfy bed.
Great place and quite the value; bonus you can book single nights. Only complaint is there were long black hairs all over the floors and found several in the sheets. Had to wipe my socks off….
minus the little hiccup with Hotels not sending me the code to get into my room and i had to call the number on the door(the lady i spoke to that owned the hotel was super nice and helped out alot ), everything about the stay was lovely..room was super clean, bed and pillows were very comfy, water pressure was excellent and the temperature stayed consistent, was very quiet even with the quests there.. definitely recommended to anyone looking for a stay in Cape May
We had a lovely time at The Cape! The property was well appointed, clean and within a ten minute local drive of most of the amenities needed (dining, recreation, etc.). During our stay, there was a glitch that occurred in the room. Dawn worked quickly to rectify. When she realized that it couldn’t be resolved until the next day, she upgraded us to a cottage (which was also lovely!!)
Thanks for making our trip a lovely one, and we’ll definitely be back!
